We are working with a dataset about Breast Cancer that we have obtained from kaggle website
This is the dataset we are working with:

Cleaning the data
Cleaning the data
| BEFORE | AFTER |
|---|---|
| THE COLUMNS ARE DIFFERENT TYPES | EACH COLUMN HAS A CORRECT TYPE |
| 0, 1, 2 VALUES | BOLEAN VARIABLES |
| NAMES WITH /R/N | CLEAN NAMES |
| BIRTH DATE WITH 3 CHARACTERS | BIRTH DATE WITH 4 CHARACTERS |
| BLOOD TYPE 44 | CORRECT BLOOD TYPES ONLY |
| WEIRD WEIGHT/AGE CORRELATIONS | ELIMINATING PEOPLE UNDER 20 YEARS OLD AND 35 KG |
| WOMEN AND MEN | ONLY WOMEN |
Augmenting the data
- We have added more informative columns
- We have changed the type of the columns
Statistical analysis
We have created some plots in order to fully understand the data and we have done some statistical analysis like MCA analysis. The plots are shown in the following point: “Results”
Results
Barchar of categorical variables
//: # Variables that affect health (medicines, vicious habits) have a great incidence in breast cancer patients //: # Early menstrual periods before age 12 and starting menopause after age 55 expose women to hormones longer, raising their risk of getting breast cancer
Plots
//: # In most cases, when having taking medicine the death is higher (no sense). //: # Not drinking alcohol or smoking improves recovery. //: # When taking alcohol and smoking the death is lower (it doesn’t make any sense) //: # These are absolute values, maybe we should calculate some relative values
